Pisco Malpaso Pedro Jimenez Reservado 750 ml

Pisco MalPaso Pedro Jiménez Reservado is a Chilean pisco made from Pedro Jiménez grapes grown in the Elqui Valley, one of the two main pisco-producing regions in Chile alongside Limarí. The Reservado designation means it's rested in oak for at least two years before bottling, which is longer than the brand's younger expressions. Expect a golden color, with dried fruit, toasted nuts, and baking spice on the nose from the barrel time. The palate carries that same dried-fruit and oak character, finishing warm with a hint of spice. A good entry point for anyone curious about pisco beyond the more common Peruvian and Moscatel-based bottlings.

How to drink Pisco Malpaso Reservado

Sip it neat to taste the oak and dried-fruit character the barrel time adds. It also works in a Piscola — pisco and cola over ice — the everyday way Chileans drink it when they're not sipping it straight.
